Timeline make me crazy changing the time records

HI I have the last version 1.5.3 but I notices the same happened with the 1.5.2, I think I had before the 1.4 something.

I made a lot of records change on Timelime because I don't follow a timeline, the problem is that now when I change a record by example

Purchase Equipment 12/12/16 3:58 PM - 4:12 pm in this case I will change the start time 3:45 PM then automatically the stop time will change to a minor value like 4:00 pm, I don't know why is doing that maybe has relation with the round up?

I don't know if I can comeback to an older version before 1.5 and keep my data safe?

Thank you very much for reporting this issue!
You are right, it does round the end time when editing the start time.
To avoid this behavior for now, please uncheck “Show rounded duration” above the timings table. Then it works as expected.

Thanks for the video! I now understand what you meant.
Since Timelime v1.5, when you change the start date of a timing, the end time automatically adjusts so the duration stays the same. There is no rounding involved.
I have made this change to be consistent with other apps like Apple Calendar and most other time tracking apps, which all implement this behavior.

To change the duration of a timing, please edit the end time or the duration.
Also, did you know that you can navigate quickly through the different fields using the tab key, while editing a timing.

I don’t recommend going back to a previous version of Timelime. Your Timelime database has been updated going from version 1.4 to 1.5.

This is very frustrating… no matter if I change the the end time the start time will change to keep the duration, so before I only need input one change now I need make two more changes. Change the duration is not a good option because I need made the calculation and won’t be exact.

I understand the technical issues with Apple Calendar or other tracking apps but I only use your app for tracking my time and my other mates.

Will be a big trouble have app 1.5 version without this feature? Or I can go back to the 1.4, I have Time Machine and get the old database version and export/import the records from December to today?

I came from using Timesheets and Timeslice apps and I had the bad experience that the developer change the app in some way that made impossible work with it since add features or change the developing.

Please advise and share with me the last version of 1.4 if I cannot get a 1.5

>> no matter if I change the the end time the start time will change to keep the duration
If you change the end time, the start time should stay the same and the duration should adjust. Did you mix up “start time” and “end time” here?

You are right: When you edit an existing timing and only want to change the start time, but keep the end time the same, then you now need to edit both start and end time. Whereas before you only needed to edit the start time.
When I changed this behavior, I never thought this would be an issue to anyone.

I’d be interested: In your case, what is the scenario that you only need to change the start date?

What I can try to do is this:
Add a feature in version 1.5.4 that let’s you edit the start time the old way, when holding down a modifier key (maybe the option key).
Would this be ok for you?

and “end time” here?

That is curious I made the change on the end time and
works, maybe I made something wrong before.

Well happened frecuently in my case I when I forget
create new task right away and then I have a gap on the time, so I
need change later when I review my timesheet for the day I need to
change the start date.

Cool, I will add the feature with the alternate editing in the
next update.

I know this won't apply when you review your times at the end of
the day: But did you know that you can adjust the start time of a
running timing to the end time of the previous timing
automatically. To do so, right-click on the menu bar item and
choose "Move start back in time" > "xx minutes (end of last
timing)".
